Notes	Dea. Jonathan Copp was the first deacon chosen by the church in the North Parish of New London, now called Montville Center Church, at its organization in 1722. He, with Capt. Thomas A very, Capt. Robert Denison, Mr. Samuel Allen, Mr. John Vibber, and Mr. Nathaniel Otis, with their wives, were the first covenanters, forming the nucleus for the future church of North Parish, and over this little flock in the wilderness Rev. James Hillhouse was ordained its pastor 3 Oct., 1722. Some two or three years previous to the calling of Rev. James Hilllouse as pastor, this little band of Christian workers had met together on the Sabbath for divine worship with Deacon Copp as the probable leader. His farm lay in the northern part of the Parish, near the Norwich line, in what is now called Leffingwell Society. Dea. Jonathan Copp was born 23 Feb., 1665, son of David Copp and Obedience Topliff. He came from Boston, but the exact date is not certainly known, probably soon after 1700. His children were all probably born before his removal here. He was married to Catherine Lay 18 Aug., 1690. He died 4 Nov., 1746. She died 24 May, 1701. Both were buried in the church cemetery in the rear of the First Church,on Raymond Hill.
